Water worker fired after talking about lead to media
The lawyer representing Yaeger, Louis Watson, argues that the city is violating his client's First Amendment rights.
JACKSON, Miss. — A man who discovered lead components in a city water main and then told the public was fired Thursday from his job in Jackson's Public Works Department.
Jonathan Yaeger, who had been working as an engineer in training in February when he found a corroded band of lead connecting two pipes while helping replace a water main, is a student at Jackson State University who had a full-time job in the department. He was going to be responsible for inspecting new water lines and preparing contract documents, among other tasks, and had just acquired the responsibility of managing the city’s storm-water permits.
“I was going to be the storm-water guy,” he said.
